He stopped with his band in 1976 in the tiny town of Milk River Alberta on the way to the US. 3 or 4 days , I think to finish all their drugs. They set up in my uncles wheat field and played a show. Freaked the old folks out good. Gave me a few free Tshirts . Us teens loved it. Never forget that.
@@DanFan2042 Completely true. The town has about 800 residents, surrounded by wheat fields mostly. Seeing the look on my old families faces when Joe was writhing around on his back on stage was priceless. The shirts were blue with Declaration of Independence type writing , some saying about the Declaration of Joe Cocker. 1976. I gave a couple away and wore mine till it was threadbare. I’m speculating about the reason they stopped but why else would that band of freaks hippies and gypsies stay in a one horse town so near the border for so long? No doubt they were indulging heavily in intoxicants. My uncle actually got paid for the use of his field, I never asked him what the form of tender was…😂 One morning they all just drove the buses out of town heading South toward the border crossing in Coutts, Alberta/ Sweetgrass, MT. 12 km. away.
He is the greatest rock and roller of my generation and I am 65. I grew up with him growling and singing and screaming out his songs from Woodstock till the day he died God bless him. I am so sorry he's gone now because he didn't have ANYTHING more to prove, he seems like the kindest most wonderful gentleman in the world and I just bet he was. If God's listening to me tonight please tell him to take special care Mister Joe Cocker who is loved and missed still.
You and me should have met years ago. I also followed Joe from his first album. I just turned 66. I saw him many times over the years and even got my wife hooked on him after we married. I miss him very much. I still have every original album by him and still listen quite frequently. It's a great joy to listen to him still. RIP Joe. Nice to meet up here Pluto Girl.
@@curtzeek8818 Hi Curt... Nice of you to write, seems like we are both really old Joe cocker fans. It is great that your wife is into him also. An old friend of mine told me that he went to his concert in Cleveland and Joe was so stoned and drunk that he turned off the stage and threw up on my friend. I told my buddy I hope you never took a shower after that LOL. I do believe Joe cocker got straight finally and cleaned up his act before he died, that's a good thing. Very nice talking to you take care.
I absolutely disagree with you because the Beatles have created hundreds of songs, while the Joe Cocker has only created one song about sex but sex is the main thing for manking.
Joe Cocker a legend to no END..a singer that has it all..fortune and fame..Terrific performance's at all of his concerts..sensational and humble ..never to be forgotten..an entertainer that has no End.
Leave it to Dutch TV to record this oh-so-sexy rendition of this uber-sexy classic by Joe Cocker. And the arrangement is perfect! Why am I not surprised?
You need to check out the movie from which the song comes: "BRASS" about a colliery Brass Band in the north of England. The colliery is being shut down....(Margaret Thatcher era.) "...grim times up north, lad., tha knows." (Well worth watching if only for Tara Fitzgerald.......)Drool....drool...)
I saw Joe Cocker live, twice, the first time he was pissed out of his brain and the second time sober it didn’t sound any different...it just sounded bloody great like all good music does!!
Him and Leon Russell at Woodstock we're so screwed up but what a show they put on!! I miss both of them awful! This is real music!! Not the 💩they call music since the 90's. It's just noise no meaning to the lyrics. Have a GREAT DAY
It's sad to me. I'm an ol rock n roller, 62 this year and we're losing all the greats. The CRAP that's being rolled out today is so mindless and there's just no heart or soul in it. The greatest era's in music are gone, passed on and they're not going to return. I'm so glad I've been a part of this era. I saw so many great concerts in my youth....man oh man. Great memories!
🎉❤🎈😍 #joecocker is an unforgettable legend.... I was in my 20's when I first watched this exactly performance on TV.... It brings me lots of memories 😢😢😢😢
I was fortunate to see him in Durban South Africa in a lot smaller venue around this time, and he still rocked as always. I have been a fan since his start. RIP great man. ❤❤❤
The Man had the Pipes to shout it out loud! This is definitely one of my favorite top three songs by Joe Cocker. I can listen to this over and over again and never get tired of hearing it. RIP Joe, you are truly missed. ☮️
Another wonderful, beautiful soul gone. I hope you're in heaven with the Good Lord. If I make it I hope to meet you and shake your hand. I grew up listening to your music. RIP Joe Cocker
OMG what a performance 🎭 out standing 👏 i wish 😢 i could have been present to hear that absolutely awesome orchestra and Joe Crocker belt that song out
Утром, днем и вечером слушаю не уставая, полный восторг. Настоящий певец, настоящий человек которого любили и любят миллионы людей. Вы были единственным и не повторимым. ВЕЧНАЯ И СВЕТЛАЯ ВАМ ПАМЯТЬ.
Saw Joe in st Pete Fl up close, what an entertainer! Every performance was like his first and last. GBLESS JOE rest well you earned it. Love to see that Mad Dog Ranch.
One of the greatest. He had a style all his own. I love that voice! Great orchestration. Just an all around awesome performance by him and everyone with him.
Great Joe cocker always great band of musicians with him never followed trend just done his own thing great voice never be another Joe legend rip joe 👍
I am not a Yorkshire man but I lived 15 wonderful years, first in Leeds, then in Sheffield in the 70s and early 80s. My kids were born in Sheffield. People sometime ask me 'what is Sheffield like - or what was it like?' I say listen to Joe Cocker. That's what is was like.
Agreed! I saw Joe quite a bit and seeing this brings back those memories and tears to my eyes. I followed Joe from his first album to his last. I miss him very much.
Oh man, I love this song, can't sit still, even my fingers on the keyboard are dancing, and an orchestra playing to this great song, I remember the first i heard this song WOW!! 9/26/13 Joan from Philly
Oh, Joe, Joe, Joe, how we miss you...just to have been alive while he was. I was offered two free tickets to Woodstock by two fellow FSU students in July of 1969 -- and, what an idiot, I said, "In a field??? What about bathrooms? No thanks!" The two kids who went were never the same...and, of course, Joe Cocker's Woodstock appearance shot him to US fame, seemingly overnight. What a unique pearl you will always be, Joe. Thank you so much. (And whatever genius put this orchestra around him should get an award!)
i was fortunate to see joe cocker at red rocks in denver on august 9 1996. great show !!!! barn burner 1996 tour. on my harley and they parked us on the heli-pad !!!! remember 'TET'
Een van de mooiste herinneringen aan mijn lieve vrouw , die mij helaas ontnomen is door kanker. Zijn we samen naar toe geweest en mijn hart breekt als ik dit weer zie. Love you meissie from here to eturnity.

Been a fan of Cocker since the 60s and it never ceases to amaze me at how damned good he was.
Should be in the HOF
me too!~!!!
perfect performance
nobody can replace Joe Cocker ,there was only one Joe ,he was the real deal,loved him
No one can sing this song like the great, great Joe Cocker !
Hello Amanda how are you doing!!
This amazing guy was performing a year before he died of lung cancer, I love his music he has such a big heart and gives everything when he performs.
Hell, I'm home in bed in 2021 and still gave him a standing ovation.
He was special! Backup band not bad either lol
@@MrMacHobb Ya gotta love the Brass and Piano…and then there’s Joe 👍
@@MrMacHobb ,
2023 and still loving Joe Cocker…timeless❣️
Funny
Horns, strings, piano, drums, guitar, and back up singers were all front stage for this one...no minor players. They all got into it!
Gave me goosebumps!🤣
Who ever put this together for Joe did one awesome job the backup singers and music arrangement is outstanding
Best song to strip to, no doubt. ☮️💜💋
OUTSTANDING 🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹😊❤😊

Американцы! Вы трогатеные,синтементальные ,чуткие люди! Приятно знать,что за океаном есть такие душевные люди ! Всех Вам благ!
I dance to this once a week ... in Homage to him...and just because ...I CAN!
Whoever did the orchestral arrangement deserves a medal.
NO DOUBT 🎼🎙🎸📯🎤🎶🎷🎺🎵🥁🎹
100 percent. Off the charts, fabulous
UN TITAN ✌✌✌✌✌
You are right, it’s absolutely incredible.
Pardon the musical pun, but this was off the charts. Everybody was playing their hearts out, and Joe was on fire.
Only singer that sings cover songs better than the original, including the Beatles. Song gives me the chills.😄
And those originals agree with that - Joe just somehow always made his covers better than the originals. Love the guy - totally unique.
I absolutely disagree with you because the Beatles have created hundreds of songs, while the Joe Cocker has only created one song about sex but sex is the main thing for manking.
Joey belted out songs like no one else!!!!
John Lennon said that that's your song now Joe. Go Sheffield Steel.
@@barrythatcher9349 Was this tune originally done by the Beatles???
This man knew how to sing and put a show on. He will be missed by many. RIP Joe..you were the best
So much greatness going on with that stage…..REAL MUSIC!!!!!
Joe Cocker a legend to no END..a singer that has it all..fortune and fame..Terrific performance's at all of his concerts..sensational and humble ..never to be forgotten..an entertainer that has no End.
One of his best.Have been listening to him for 50 years
No one can sing this song like the great, great Joe Cocker rip joe thx for striptiz song
That must've been one Hell of a concert!! Joe Cocker Gold right there!!
Would LOVE to see the whole thing!
hard not to tear up thinking about Joe and watching him. one of the greatest ever. gone but never forgotten
This performance was definitely the greatest of his career!
Comparável a de Woodstock...
Would love to see the whole thing - can't find any other songs from this concert on UA-cam, or anywhere else.
Leave it to Dutch TV to record this oh-so-sexy rendition of this uber-sexy classic by Joe Cocker. And the arrangement is perfect! Why am I not surprised?
Love the big brass sound with this, awesome

Watch the ‘92 Dortmund concert with the awesome sax solos!
Such raw emotions. We've all experienced what he's singing about at some time in our life. He touchs the very soul!
I saw Joe Cocker live, twice, the first time he was pissed out of his brain and the second time sober it didn’t sound any different...it just sounded bloody great like all good music does!!
Him and Leon Russell at Woodstock we're so screwed up but what a show they put on!! I miss both of them awful! This is real music!! Not the 💩they call music since the 90's. It's just noise no meaning to the lyrics. Have a GREAT DAY

God I wish I could have been there.
Просто, что-то невероятное, спасибо🙏💕 за музыку, песни, да за всё преклоняюсь перед вами, вы вечный! 🙃😘🥲
В отличии от многих, даже в таком возрасте пел без фанеры, посильнее всей нашей не до эстрады. В свои 16 лет, мой любимейший певец
The Best!!! That Ever Heard...🔥
Thanks JOE!!!🔥
I was fortunate to see him in Durban South Africa in a lot smaller venue around this time, and he still rocked as always. I have been a fan since his start. RIP great man. ❤❤❤
Прекрасен,искрен,единствен изпълнител на незабравими хитове!!!
I only found this video last night, I think all 2m views are mine.

No doubt nobody can sing like Joe but we gotta give Dibs to the Orchestra on this one. Outstanding!
Masterful performance
that just kicked major ass. awsome!
So much energy, the horns. back up singers, and his voice
Hottest song ever. LEGEND.
The Man had the Pipes to shout it out loud! This is definitely one of my favorite top three songs by Joe Cocker. I can listen to this over and over again and never get tired of hearing it. RIP Joe, you are truly missed. ☮️
One of the greatest artists of all time.
This version rocks my soul and has me dancing in my chair!

Обожаю Joe Cockera! Мой кумир! Вечная память ему!
I have never heard Joe Cocker do a cover. He always makes the song his own.
Another wonderful, beautiful soul gone. I hope you're in heaven with the Good Lord. If I make it I hope to meet you and shake your hand. I grew up listening to your music. RIP Joe Cocker
This performance is hard to top!!!
I just love the horns!
I just love the horns!

I like seeing Joe with a small army of musicians and others on stage with him. Reminds me of Mad Dogs and Englishmen.
FREAKIN' BRILLIANT! I saw Joe in Sydney Australia in the early 1970's!
The only man who ever lived who did covers better than the originals. The greatest concert you will ever not see again..
Agreed! I saw Joe quite a bit and seeing this brings back those memories and tears to my eyes. I followed Joe from his first album to his last. I miss him very much.
Oh man, I love this song, can't sit still, even my fingers on the keyboard are dancing, and an orchestra playing to this great song, I remember the first i heard this song WOW!! 9/26/13 Joan from Philly
This is the way he was meant to be heard and seen. The big arrangement and huge sound behind that voice that bring down landslides. God he is missef
The greatest singer ever , big Joe Cocker, I saw him in 2004 in Calgary, was amazing, no words to describe that voice and power.
Great
The best music ever ,women feel the thrill also men !It's about love ....all !Absolutly wonderful I just love it!JC is my man! Respect!
Oh, Joe, Joe, Joe, how we miss you...just to have been alive while he was.

Спасибо Джо! Смотрю уже несколько вариантов исполнения...чудо! Он нас слышит!
“You give me reason to live!” Sing it
Best version......EVER!
Sorry, much as I love to hear Joe sing, Etta 's got this one beat.

@@johndrippert3289 Not possible, perhaps equal is, but beat? NO WAY, this is perfection.
The incredible opening just warms my soul..and then there is his immediate passion
Welled up in first 10 seconds
This is the man that started my love of music way back in the sixties
Thank you Mr Joe Cocker ....and My hat is definitely Off to you!
A Masterpiece!
There are few performances as strong as this one. An all around great piece of musicianship.
Hottest song ever. LEGEND.
